    I wouldn’t recommend eating a long wait time before someone even takes your order or greats you, which makes sense to some extent, because they probably just focus on the bar. The food is also overpriced, which can also make sense because it’s an arcade. I got fries and pretzel bars and a slushie and spent 50 dollars, which is too expensive in my opinion, but the arcade part is very nice. They have nice prizes. If you make enough points, I would definitely be back for the arcade portion but not the food portion.

    the food was cold and tasted stale and old. the bathrooms were filthy and the employee ignored me when i addressed the issue. the guy came to the table to clean up a spill and pushed the water around the floor with a soaking wet map that he didn't ring out making matters worse, then he placed a wet floor sign and walked off as if his job was complete. when we had numerous little kids at our table and the table next to us kids as well

    The Dave and busters today for lunch went into the bar area. There was already 2 patrons there. Getting their drinks and food ,the server looked over at me several times but said nothing.I was there for like 15 or 20 minutes No one came to ask me if I wanted food if I wanted a drink or even to give me a menu but the other 2 patrons that was at the bar they got their food and drink.

    Prices are insane. $25 for a salad?! Paid $17 for 4 tiny chicken strips, each not even bigger than my finger. Flatbread pizza came out doughy still. Server took our order, then went and sat down at another booth with his buds watching the football game. Only when I made eye contact with him did he come check on us again. Use to come here a lot, but with the menu change and price increases, it won’t be as much anymore.
